An alarming jump of 67.4 percent in the rate verified to the corona in the last seven days, compared to the same period of time in the previous week - this is the most prominent figure in the daily corona report published today (Thursday) by the Ministry of Health.
A comparison of those time periods shows that even in the number of patients in critical condition, there was a dramatic increase - of 33.3%.
The number of critically ill patients today is 81 - 47 of them in critical condition, 17 connected to Acmo devices and 38 respirators.

In total, 1,360,887 verified registered to Corona in Israel are currently registered.
On the other hand, according to the same comparison with the seven days until last Thursday, the declining trend in the number of Corona deaths continues: the last seven days reflect a 42.9% decrease in the death rate - eight people died from Corona during this period, and a total of 8,241 people died in Israel.
Reports of the rapid spread of the Omicron strain are apparently bringing more and more people to the vaccination stations: the number of subjects in the last seven days stands at 512,997 people - an increase of 3.2% compared to the seven days before - of which 1.4% were positive.
Yesterday, the rate of tests was 1.45%, and in numbers: 98,897 were tested yesterday for the detection of the virus, out of 111,188 total tests.
The adhesion coefficient R today is 1.34 - and continues to rise in this sequence on the 19th day after already standing at 1.02 about three weeks ago.
Also in the proportion of subjects found to be positive for Corona an upward trend is observed since December 12, and today it stands at 1.56% positive subjects.
The rates of those vaccinated today in the country are 6,489,638 people (first dose), 5,865,016 (second dose) and 4,182,366 (third dose).
In Jerusalem, which stands tonight at the top of the infected cities in Corona with 1,721 active patients, the rate of vaccinating in the third dose is far in the bottom third of the table with 31.13%.
This is in contrast to the leading locality of Kochav Yair in the country with 78.22% vaccinated in the third.
